Marie Sterbenz

   I am 64 years old and have been married to my high school sweetheart for 45 years. We have 2 sons and a daughter, and 2 grandchildren. I love to scrapbook, sew, make jewelry, oil paint and read. I have about 500 romance novels in my library, including the 1st one I ever read, which was “The Flame and The Flower”.

   When we lived in California we were members of a gem and mineral club. I wrote a six-part article for our club newsletter. It was a description of gems written as a regency ball. The editor of the club newsletter submitted part one to the California Federation of Mineralogical Societies contest. I won first prize for original adult article.

   Lulu Press published my first book, “The Geis”, in Oct of 2005. I am currently working on a sequel currently titled “The Magic Stone”. I am also working on another non-romance story about a serial killer.
